Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between students' awareness of sustainable environmental development and their intent to implement eco-school programs in Jordan. Using survey methodology, students between the ages of 14 and 18 from Jordanian public and private schools in two large cities, Amman and Irbid, were asked to complete a standardised questionnaire to collect data. We document a significant, positive relationship between student awareness of sustainable environmental development and their intention to implement eco-school programs in their schools.

Keywords: sustainable environmental development; knowledge; attitude; pro-environmental behaviour; intention; eco-schools; Jordan.
